GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

The Song Formerly Known As
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

But from where would the backlash come? I wouldn't expect there to be much except from the minority of the most bitter Demons fans (I think many here, myself included, would wish Mitch all the best whatever he decides to do in the future). Not that I wouldn't be a little bit further heartbroken by such a scenario. The wider footballing world surely wouldn't give a fig.

Backlash probably wasn't the right word but the media would be all over it and some people would been questioning him about hesding to another club.. Just think if he slotted back in at the dees he'd be less scrutinised

Agreed, but given the mental health background it would be pretty low for the media to hound the guy over loyalty issues. In fact, such is the MFC hatred that prevails in most AFL media circles they would probably congratulate Mitch for taking himself away from the "toxic" MFC environment.

I like all here would love to see Mitch run out on the the MCG with the Dees next year. Though if this is not to happen i would hope that Mitch would at least provide the MFC with the chance to trade him to Freo or to where ever he intends to go, rather than just walking off to another club and leaving the Dees down a top 20 pick and no compensation. I believe he is a decent enough person to look after the dees as far as he can.


I can't handle all this speculation!!

Call Mantherapy. They have a way of dealing with this.

How much of a shot in the arm would it be to have the forward line we had thought we'd have at the start of this year for 2015: Clark, Hogan, Dawes, Kent, JKH and Howe.

An unfortunate sequence of posts.

The same 6, I postulated as our forward line next year. If only.

anybody else just scan this thread for a new GNF post and ignore the rest?

i do that on about 90% of threads

The MFC and Mitch Clark agreed to a mutual termination of the players contract. Financial details were not to be made public, as agreed to by both parties.

He is not on our list!

Source?

I have this: "Clark will remain on the Demons' list for 2014 before being delisted at the end of the year, although Mahoney would not be drawn on the financial settlement surrounding Clark's contract – labelling it "inappropriate" to discuss at the time."

Incorrect.

Gerard Whateley & David King both checked with the AFL & he's definitely still on our list, It was mentioned on AFL360.
 

So he's on the player list until list lodgement day but isn't contracted to the club as his contract has been terminated?? Is that what's going on here??

I am not sure that is the case either. I believe we came to a settlement of this year's obligations.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
